Hardware & Accessory Swaps
Hardware and accessory swaps is the cosmetic-finish trade that closes a kitchen, bath, or entry in one visit — cabinet pulls, towel bars, house numbers, no-wire doorbells, smart locks, soft-close hinges, and mesh Wi-Fi — starting at $100. A box of brushed-brass cabinet pulls bought six months ago and still on the counter. A Schlage Encode smart lock unopened on the entry table because the old deadbolt is stuck. A house-number set leaned against the garage because the screws in the package are not long enough for stucco. Small parts, predictable scope, and a handful of details (template alignment, the right anchor for tile or plaster, lock backset, doorbell field of view) that decide whether the install reads as factory-finished or as "we will redo this later." Handis sends a vetted handyman with the drill bits, anchors, jigs, and patience for every surface in the house.

Hardware & Accessory Swaps Pricing
Final pricing depends on the count of items, the wall or door material, and whether any existing hardware needs to be removed or holes filled. Each sub-category page lists detailed pricing for that family of work. Multi-area visits are cheaper per item than booking each one separately. Request a free estimate for an accurate quote.
Send us the boxes — pulls, towel bars, smart lock, doorbell — and we will quote the full visit.
Why Homeowners Book Handis for Hardware Swaps
Most hardware-swap calls fail the same way. A cabinet pull drilled freehand off a tape measure is a quarter-inch off on door six and obvious by door ten. A towel bar set into a wall plug that came with the package pulls out of drywall the first time a wet bath sheet hangs on it. A smart lock installed without verifying the backset binds in the strike plate. A doorbell mounted at the wrong height aims its camera at a porch ceiling instead of a delivery driver. After a few thousand hardware swaps across kitchens, baths, and entries, every one of those failure modes has a fix in the truck — a drill jig that keeps every pull on the same line, a diamond tile bit so the anchor lands in the stud behind the tile, a backset gauge that catches the door spec before the new hardware comes out of the box, and a height-and-angle protocol for doorbell cameras.

List the items, the rooms, and any specifics you know — cabinet count and pull pitch, towel bar wall type, smart lock brand, doorbell brand, kitchen door count — and we will send back a clear estimate for the full visit.
What Our Customers Say
Recent hardware and accessory swap reviews from verified customers.
Kitchen finish-out after the cabinet guys left. Sixty cabinet pulls, twenty knobs, all brushed brass at 96 mm on center on doors that had been drilled at 3 inch by the factory. The tech filled the old holes, jig-drilled every door, and ran the new pulls on a single horizontal line that I can sight down. Looks like the kitchen was built for the new hardware.
Master bath remodel after the tile guy. Towel bar over the tub, robe hook on the back of the door, toilet paper holder beside the toilet, glass shelf above the vanity. He drilled the tile with a diamond bit, found a stud for the towel bar, used rated toggles where the stud did not line up. Six months in, the wet bath sheet has not pulled anything out.
Schlage Encode smart lock and a Ring Battery Doorbell installed in one visit. He checked the door spec before opening the lock box, swapped the deadbolt, set four codes for our family plus a guest code, and stood on the porch to test the lock and the doorbell from where I would actually use them. The doorbell motion zone is set so I do not get a phone alert every time a car drives by.
Whole-kitchen hinge swap on a 1996 kitchen that slammed every door. Twenty-eight doors and seven drawers — converted every hinge to European concealed soft-close, added soft-close glides on the drawers. The kitchen feels brand new and you can close a cabinet at 11 pm without waking anyone. Took most of a day, worth it.
New house, new house numbers and a new mailbox. The stucco wall on the front of the house had eaten the screws from the package — too short and too thin. The tech used the right masonry sleeve, drilled the stucco without cracking it, and set the post for the mailbox in the right depth so it will not lean. Delivery drivers find us now.
